The San Remo Rally 1985-91 DVD
Italy’s Sanremo Rally is one of international motorsport’s great events,
combining hundreds of miles of tarmac and gravel stages to ensure the cars,
drivers and teams are tested to the absolute limit. Dust, mist, rain, trees and
unruly fans are just some of the obstacles the World Rally Championship’s
biggest names faced as they battled to tame the Sanremo.
This DVD features comprehensive reviews of seven classic years from the
Sanremo Rally, from 1985 – the era of the fire-breathing Group B monsters – to
1991 when Didier Auriol was the man to beat in Italy.
This is a fabulous opportunity to see the icons of rallying in flat-out
action, including the Group B favourites like the Lancia 037 and Delta S4, the
Audi Quattro Sport S1, Peugeot 205 T16 and Metro 6R4, plus the Group A giants
like the Toyota Celica GT-4, Ford Sierra Cosworth and, of course, the
all-conquering Lancia Delta HF.
Each year delivers drama, controversy and fabulous action, from Audi’s first
Group B win to Italian delight as Miki Biasion scores a home win. During this
turbulent period the Sanremo saw titles decided, victories secured by just
seconds and rule decisions which shook the sport. Once again you can relive
champions being crowned, legends being created and the jaw-dropping drama of the
Sanremo at night!
The Sanremo Rally is classic and you’ll want to relive these unforgettable
years again and again.
The Tour de Corse Rally 1984 -1991 DVD
"Packed with the greatest names and cars from the WRC's most exuberant
period" Autosport
The Tour de Corse - one of the most demanding and most popular events on the
World Rally Championship schedule.
The history of the rally in Corsica is brimming with stories of action,
drama, controversy and, sadly, tragedy - including the deaths of the charismatic
Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto.
This DVD brings together for the first time extensive highlights from eight
years of the Tour de Corse, allowing you to ride alongside the biggest names in
rallying. From 1984 to 1991 we see real action and watch the development of
rallying, from the Group B era of the fire-spitting monsters to the
ultra-competitive days of Group A.
We see legendary drivers including Auriol, Kankkunen, Alen and Biasion in
action, and cars like the Lancia Delta being pushed to the limit on tight,
twisting mountain special stages which tested the drivers, co-drivers and cars
to breaking point - and beyond!
"There's a poignancy to this Tour de Corse DVD - Henri Toivonen's
ill-fated Lancia Delta S4 adorns the cover...Duke's celebration of an island
asphalt event loved by drivers and fans cover the period 1984-91 so it's packed
with the greatest names and cars from the WRC's most exuberant period"

The 1000 Lakes Rally is one of the most famous – and fastest – events to
grace the World Rally Championship calendar. The gravel-covered tracks of the
Finnish forests have produced numerous epic, high-speed battles, and the
showdowns featured on this action-packed DVD will be, for many rally fans, the
most memorable and thrilling.
Get ready for more than two-and-a-half-hours of classic rally drama as we
relive seven unforgettable years of the 1000 Lakes Rally. We start in 1985, at
the height of the fire-breathing Group B monsters, and continue right through to
1991, when Finland’s own Juha Kankkunen finally claimed victory at the
11th attempt.
Along the way we see the biggest names at their power-sliding best, including
Markku Alen, Timo Salonen, Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola, Henri Toivonen,
Malcolm Wilson, Miki Biasion, Didier Auriol and many more. Plus, there’s an
all-star cast of the greatest rally machines, like Lancia’s 037 and Delta S4,
Peugeot’s 205 T16, Ford’s Sierra Cosworth, Toyota’s Celica GT-4, Subaru’s
Legacy, Mitsubishi’s Gallant and the ever popular Metro 6R4.
Each year delivers edge-of-the-seat drama as our comprehensive coverage takes
you from the Group B years when victory was decided by just seconds right
through to Kankkunen’s unexpected and emotional win. Once again you can relive
Ari Vatanen’s amazing return from serious injury in 1987, future World Champion
Tommi Makinen bursting onto the scene in 1991 and Spain’s Carlos Sainz becoming
the first non-Scandinavian to win the 1000 Lakes Rally, by just 19 seconds!
The 1000 Lakes Rally is a classic, and you’ll want to relive these
unforgettable years again and again.
"The WRC may still be an awesome sport to watch, but for bleeding edge of
sanity viewing it's hard to beat the Group B rally monsters of the '80s. Yep,
the likes of the Lancia Delta S4, Audi Quattro, Pug 205 T16 and mental Metro 6R4
are all here in this action-packed DVD, tearing up the Finnish countryside with
the drivers that made them awesome. It's essential viewing" Max

“Now, you can’t make a documentary on the Rally of Bulgaria, or Rally of
Malaysia. Especially not if it’s a 3.5-hour DVD. But when it comes to the 1000
Lakes Rally, 3.5 hours fly by in a jiffy as you watch Markku Alen, Timo Salonen,
Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola, Henri Toivonen and Co. take the yumps sideways
and flat out. Not only is the stage-by-stage, year-by-year action detailed, but
it focuses on the Group B era, meaning you get the supercharged din of the Delta
S4, the inline-five growl of the Quattro and high-pitched wail of the 205 T16.
Despite all the names, cars, stages and spectator shambolics, the highlights
have to be the awesome Finnish accents in the various interviews and the
brilliant on-boards. Even though it focuses on a single event, as far as the
Group B era goes, it’s one of the best DVDs to have”

"Featuring dramatic footage of the world's scariest rally between 1985
and 1991, this 3.5-hour jumpfest brings the best bits of a golden era of
flat-out Finnish rallying. All the great names and cars from the Group B period
and its Group A successor of the late 1980s are here"

"Finland's 1000 Lakes is one of the fastest and most famous rallies ever
run. If you're a fan of rallying, you'll love third three-and-a-half hour DVD
covering the classic Group B era and beyond. Expect high-speed action, a few
spectacular crashes and some '80s-spec moustaches" Classic
